Where does it go.....

I did something last night that I never do. I stepped on a scale before bed. Not the deep dark secret that people may have been interested in, but it made me think. Let me preface what I'm about to say by letting you know that I weigh every day. I'm a believer in it. I accept the highs with the lows and I've learned alot from doing so.

For the past few days I was the same exact weight. Rare for me, but literally, down to the same tenth of a pound. Last night before bed, I weighed, something I never do, and I was the same exact weight, same tenth of a pound.

This morning I weighed in 1.4 pounds less than 8 hours previously. It just got me thinking this morning, where the heck does a pound and a half go, in 8 hours when I only pee'd one time. Some would say that it's attributed to my scale, but 4 mornings and an evening with the same weight to the tenth of a pound seems to take that out of the equasion.

I don't know. For some reason today was the first time I really asked myself, where does it go... it just vanishes.

    I have totally given up on figuring this out, but I've often wondered the very same thing! LOL

    I've wondered about the same thing when I step on after a few mintues and the reading is a half pound different. Why do they include tenths of a pound if they are clearly not that accurate? The scale is out to get me....

    I weigh in daily too. Sometimes 2-3 times just to see what is going on. I LOVE to weigh just before working out and directly after and seeing that I will drop 2-3 pounds in less than an hour!

    But, typically I will weigh before going to sleep. And then wake up the next morning to see I am even less than the night before. Its hard to think that a solid object like fat dissappears when you sleep. Maybe sweated out into the bed? But what I have been told is that its simply converted into energy. I leave that to rest as my belief.

    Though, after working out, the 2-3 pound difference I am sure is energy and predominantly water weight.
